So, new Ettin Overlord, have the grog taxes been paid sufficiently? Can the floodgates of the grog-heavens open up to grog-criticizing as it was in the golden days before Wynston Payn ruined it?
I'm pretty sure he did that at the orders of the administration so the answer is gonna be "no".

Though to be fair it did take him a long time to start boning new-Mystra. I'm not actually certain he ever did bang new-Mystra. At that point he totes had all the kids (also Mystra's chosen IIRC) he raised to have casual sex with, though.

Both. She's sane, I guess. It's the Simbul, she's pretty much that female character.

Aren't they resetting the Forgotten Realms because manbabies pitched a fit about things getting mixed up?

They should just pull a Star Trek, make two universes. One where Elminster is an accepting progressive twenty something action wizard and the standard old sex offender one.

EDIT: I get all my Forgotten Realms lore from the wiki. gently caress reading those books now.

Good things about Robotech The Shadow Chronicles RPG:

-Smiling Blacksploitation GM presides over "What Is A Roleplaying Game?"

Gamers.txt in games isn't quote only anymore so that one's actually up to you! They also have a policy of ignoring/making fun of reports in the thread to try to make it easier on mods.

It's a really lovely thread, but a really good honeypot.

If they didn't reset FR after the Time of Troubles they probably won't reset it now. That poo poo garnered just as much manbaby rage, it just wasn't as easy to find.

ELVES don't need to apologize, they have transcended foolish human customs that put shame on people who write horrible Mary Sue books glorifying their favorite race.

edit: They have not transcended Numenara being a setting full of awesome ideas wasted on bad mechanics and wasted potential, though. ELVES are ashamed of that, and will issue an apology when their perfect society can muster one good enough.

I don't know if it works for you (every writer's different), but whenever I start feeling down in the dumps or read too much Internet drama, I channel my stress and frustration into writing. This has actually worked out kind of well for me, as it redirects that energy to more productive uses.
